I have been searching for a way to use "su" on my Win2K machine... from the reading I've done in this group the easiest way is to run ssh and log in as Administrator. An excellent solution, and one that works for me. I am curious as to how I might launch a Windows application from my root ssh command line to display within my non-priveleged-user Win2K login session.
I guess I'm looking for the Windows equivilant of the X environment commands: unixhost% xhost +Administrator unixhost% setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0 so that if I wanted to run, say, the Event Viewer as root it would display it within my current logon session. thanks dave -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
